Review: Next up on Laurent Garnier's label is a split release that explores the deeper end of house and techno. DJ Deep is up first with "What's Going On". Powered by raw, tribal beats and featuring lush pads, it sounds like the veteran house head's tribute to Joe Clausell's organic sound. Avision's "Hold No Groove" is also inspired by house music, but on this occasion, Chicago rather than New York is referenced. Combining a snaking bass with busy, layered percussion, the result is mesmerising. Deetron ups the tempo but maintains a deep sound on "Pulse", its musical but insistent rhythm recalls classic Kenny Larkin.

Review: Deetron is back at Nu Groove, bringing a two-track release, 'Runnin' / AM_909,' and it's a soulful techno and house journey you won't want to miss. Drawing inspiration from Detroit's golden era, Deetron gifts us with two tracks that dive deep into the realms of melody and rhythm. "Runnin'" is a lively, techno adventure, featuring an irresistible piano-synth loop that'll have you moving to the beat. The drums hit with precision, and the bassline carries a hypnotic depth. As the track unfolds, layers of synths and effects gradually build up, leading to a standout breakdown with a stuttering drumbeat and swirling synths that heighten the anticipation. The return to the main groove is explosive, leaving you craving more. Now, "AM_909" takes a slightly more mellow approach, but the magic is just as potent. The bassline weaves a deep and hypnotic spell, complemented by swirling and psychedelic synths that create an atmospheric vibe. While it leans towards a more subdued tone than "Runnin'," it remains just as danceable. The breakdown is a gem, featuring a stripped-back groove that allows the bassline and synths to take the spotlight. The track then builds up to a crescendo before gracefully concluding with a gentle outro. It's an experience that adds a different flavour but is just as captivating as its counterpart.

Review: It's hard to believe that this split release is over twenty years old. Like a fine wine, its quality has improved with the passage of time. Deetron's contributions see him follow a deeply musical route. "Vibrando" resounds to atmospheric pads and a soaring Detroit-style melody. Even though he follows a more percussive approach on "Batuque", its rolling groove teems with mellow chord sequences. Samuel Session's "Rico Que Rico" follows a similar approach as "Batuque". However, it's more frenetic, with melodies unfolding over an insistent, loped groove. On "Guepa Guepita" Session opts for a more stripped back approach. But rather than sounding minimal, the bubbling rhythm teems with cowbells and vocal snatches - making for a rich cacophony.

Review: Although he initially rose to prominence is a purist tech-house producer, Deetron's music has become increasingly deeper and more soulful as his career as progressed. 'Evermore', a co-production with Chicago stalwart Peven Everett, is another step in this direction. The original version (track one) is a perfectly pitched, musically detailed deep house number full of shuffling hand percussion rhythms, locked-in machine drums, fluid bass guitar and starry synth sounds, topped off by a superbly soulful lead vocal by Everett. The longer accompanying instrumental mix provides more of the goodness - vocal aside - with the pair choosing to showcase warm electric pianos, mazy synth solos and a subtly reinforced groove.

Review: !K7 continue to celebrate The Exclusives DJ Mix series that takes a 'best of' selection of tracks that were produced and performed by the DJs who mixed some of the earlier DJ-Kicks albums. Highlights here include the moody ballroom house of Jayda G's "All I Need", Cinthie's all time classic "Organ" to Leon Vynehall's deeply seductive "Ducee's Drawbar". Mr. Scruff & CyberPunkJazz make the cut with their space oddity "3001: A Space Disco Remix" next to some higher tempo experimetalisms from Laurel Halo's "Sweetie" - and let's not leave out a rare Robert Hood number via the etroit legend's dubbed out "Focus". That, and much more!

Review: Following on from 2020's Ego Rave, Deetron returns to Running Back with an evocative, club-friendly release. The sense of euphoric energy is audible from the get-go, with "Mind Eclipse" (TranceHouzzTool)" resounding to swirling, shimmering synths and a spine-tingling breakdown. "HG" follows a similar path, with Deetron dropping tranced out melodies over rolling snares, doubled-up claps and a wiry rhythm. "Phoenix" is leaner and has a more contemporary sound, with tonal bleeps supported by a pulsating groove, while on "The Shore" Deetron channels the energy of the Dutch West Coast's electro sound, fusing cosmic melodies with a bubbly Italo Disco rhythm.

Review: Deetron follows last year's Body Electric release on Running Back with a fine dance floor-based EP inspired by his formidable DJing. "Ego Rave B" is a seductive, bubbling electronic groove that supports woozy, cosmic synths, while on "Ego Rave D" and its "D1" variant, he goes down a tracky route, with dense drums and snappy percussion providing the basis for old school techno bleeps. There are also remnants of the Swiss DJ's more peak time selections: "Ego Rave A", sees Deetron fuse tranced out hooks with gentle piano keys, while "Ego Rave C" is a wide-eyed, good time electro-techno track.

Review: In the 22 years that have passed since he made his debut, Deetron has released music on an eye-watering number of high quality labels. It's somewhat surprising, then, to find that this is the Swiss producer's first outing on Running Back. It is, of course, very good, with snappy opener "Body Electric" - an ear-catching fusion of crunchy house drums, jazz guitar loops, toasty disco bass, sweet synth lines and rushing piano riffs - leading the way. "T-Symmetry" sees Deetron add bustling breakbeat blasts and more bold piano motifs to a surging future Balearic techno anthem, while "Txt" is a melodious chunk of spacey techno hypnotism rich in rising and falling synth lines and swirling chords. Those glassy-eyed synth lines and alien electronics can be admired further on the accompanying "Beatless Mix".

Review: Hot on the heels of his Storytellers release with DJ Bone earlier this year, Deetron returns to his regular label, Music Man. Like the Swiss DJ's flawless DJ sets, this two-tracker effortlessly straddles the house/techno divide. The tile track resounds to rolling grooves, dramatic chord surges and repetitive vocal snatches. It builds and drops seamlessly, making for a cut that will work equally well in peak time or warm up situations. On the AM version, piano keys are integrated into the groove, breaking down to create the kind of wide-eyed euphoria that will work everywhere from Panorama Bar to Ibiza clubs. Deetron does it again.

Deetron feat Steve Spacek
Review: Swiss hi-tech soul legend Sam Gaiser aka Deetron recently made it into the ranks of the revered !K7 DJ-Kicks mix series. In mandatory fashion, the label now presents a exclusive track that was featured in the mix. Featuring British soul futurist Steve Spacek on vocals, the emotive "Choose Me" is a lush and bittersweet number - the future of techno-soul if we've ever heard it. As brilliant as that was, it's all about the Jupiter mix up next, which retains all the evocative qualities of the original, but delves into much deeper and life-affirming vibes.

Review: This an altogether epic offering from Deetron; a vast collection of un-mixed tracks from his brilliant DJ Kicks mix (naturally included as a bonus cut) that is little less than a lesson in the evolution of techno over the last three decades. Amongst the 38 tracks you'll find fine representatives of a myriad of sub-genres (intelligent techno, dub techno, IDM, ambient techno, gospel techno, and so on), as well as past, present and future classics (Damier and Trent's "Morning Factory", Spacetime Continuum's "Swing Factory", Mark Ernestus's recent Equinoxx remix, the Motor City bliss of Rhythim is Rhythim AKA Derrick May's "Ka-o-tic Harmony", a brilliant old Black Dog Productions workout). In other words, it's a breathlessly brilliant collection of both well-known and obscure gems. It comes heartily recommended.

Played by: DJ Mau Mau
Review: Over the course of the last decade, Swiss stalwart Deetron has been responsible for a string of impressive remixes. Happily, these - and many others you may have missed - have now been collected together on the decidedly epic Re-Creation: Remixes Compiled. As you'd expect, the 25-track set flits between full-throttle, peak-time friendly techno futurism, bustling deep house goodness and more downbeat explorations that defy his reputation as a maker of killer club cuts. Highlights include the loved-up synth breakdowns and jacking, Chicago-style groove of his Juan MacLean remix, a wonderfully retro-futurist take on George Fitzgerald's "Every Inch", a thrusting, stab-happy revision of Quarion and a lusciously jazzy take on Todd Terje's "Alfonso Muskedender". That said, on another day we could have listed another five or six highlights: it really is that good.

Review: Sam Geiser aka Deetron serves up a 5 tracker on his label Character. They are the producer's take on house music from the viewpoint of an accomplished DJ of nearly twenty years. Having carved a long standing reputation in both the techno and house worlds, Geiser exposes another side of his personality here. Utilising soul, funk and hip-hop production techniques, the tracks are built on sampled material, much in the vein of his earlier and heavily charted tracks. "I Got To Have You" starts off the EP in fine form, this soulful number having the same energy as previous anthems like "I Cling". He then gets down with some superb hi-tech soul on the stylish "Take Me Higher" while loopy latin house gets its turn on the infectious "Supper In Casa Blanca"

Review: Character is a relatively new venture from Switzerland's foremost purveyor of straight-up tech house goodness. Deetron is commonly found hanging around Music Man but he's started this new operation as a direct outlet for his music, and he follows up last year's Theory Of Light EP with the surefire party-starting attack of "The Believer". Both in its original and dub form, the chunky square wave bass notes and harmonising string notes hit with that channeling of Motor City magic that Deetron has made his name on. As an added bonus, "Dexterity" offers a completely different proposition made up of minimal drum lines and edgy bleep tones.

Review: No one does contemporary disco like Dimitri From Paris. And no one has the compilation licensing clout like Defected. Naturally this is a match made in glitterball heaven as DFP spans 40 years of grooves with a spotless collection of his own edits and upfront jams. Ranging from his own twists on standard disco gems such as "Le Freak" and "Lost In Music" to the likes of Disclosure's "F For You" and Todd Terje's "Delorean Dynamite" this is, without question, one of Defected's most extensive, expansive and exciting collections to date - which really is saying something. A natural fit for all house, disco and funk fans young and old.

Deetron feat Seth Troxler
Review: Is Seth Troxler a romantic at heart? It's hard to say, but he does go off on an unexpected rant about 'this thing called love' for his contribution to Love Song. The fact that his vocals are surrounded by a Deetron's cool, trance synths and throbbing, bassy groove, make his utterances sound all the more convincing. Steve Bug has been put in charge of the remixes and does a fine job. Working under his Traffic Signs guise - a project that Bug started some time ago for his Chicago-style experiments - both versions see the German DJ/producer push the track into the kind of grinding, jacking sound that exudes pure carnal appeal.

Deetron feat Ben Westbeech
Review: Given Deetron's penchant for mining the sounds of classic Detroit techno, his ear for melody, and the presence of Ben Westbeech on vocals, it's perhaps unsurprising that "Rhythm" has the air of a classic tech-soul anthem. It comes backed with some stellar remixes, too. Chief among these are the two rubs from Will Saul and October (vocal and instrumental), which sound like a cross between Laurent Garnier's "Crispy Bacon", Ken Ishii and Jeff Mills' more melodic, electro-centric efforts - all murky bass, heavy rhythms and intergalactic melodies. If those are a little too tough for your tastes, there's also a classic deep US house interpretation from Karizma which is similarly sublime.

Review: Music Over Matter is the album that Sami Geiser's previous releases had hinted that he was capable of. Featuring a long list of collaborators, it varies in style but does not lose the Swiss DJ's love of house and techno. The somewhat unpredictable pairing of Ripperton and Cooly G guest on "Thinking", a bleepy torch song covered in layers of electronic static, while Fritz Kalkbrenner sings evoactively on the piano-led "Bright City Lights". On a more dance floor tip is "Crave" with Hercules & Love Affair, where smooth piano tinkling and dulcet tones play out over a primal rhythm, while "Sing" is possibly Deetron's finest moment to date, a conga-led disco affair bathed in soft-focus Moogy weirdness.
